Getting started! Features and appearance will vary throughout this manual 1 Load Dishwasher For best dishwashing results, follow the rack loading guidelines found in the Loading the dishwasher racks section. No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required. Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds. Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil. Remove acidic food soils that can discolor stainless steel. 2 Add Detergent Add needed amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. Use a detergent such as Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs™. See Detergent Dispenser in the Using the dishwasher section. 3 Add Rinse Agent Add Rinse Agent to the rinse agent dispenser. See Use a Rinse Agent such as Cascade® Rinse Aid™ in the Using the dishwasher section. 4 Select Cycle Press the Select Cycle pad for the desired wash cycle. The light next to the Select Cycle pad will be on to indicate which wash cycle has been selected. The cycle may be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until after the door is closed and Start selected. Cycle time will vary based on soil in loads and cycle selected. Other options may add time to your cycle AutoSense This cycle automatically senses the soil level and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. (on some models) Heavy This cycle is meant for heavily soiled dishes, cookware, pots, or pans with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes are safe to be used in this cycle. Normal This cycle is meant for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes and is designed to conserve both water and energy. NOTE: Normal was used to rate the energy efficiency of this dishwasher. Light This cycle is for light to medium soiled dishes. It is safe for china and crystal but because of its lower final rinse temperature, will provide limited dry performance. Rinse For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent. Detergent is not dispensed during the (on some models) rinse cycle. 5 Select Options The light by the selected pad will be ON to indicate which Option has been selected. Bottle Jets This option increases the time that the bottle jets are on and may add up to 23 minutes to the cycle (on some models) time. Use this to wash difficult to clean, dishwasher safe baby bottles, sport bottles, tall coffee cups, etc. See use recommendations in the Loading the dishwasher section. Wash Temp This option increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and may increase the overall cycle time. Boost Option may be turned On or Off during the wash cycle. Wash Temp also increases the final rinse temperature which can (on some models) improve dry performance . Wash Temp Sani (on some models) This option raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware and improve dry performance. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water. NOTE: This option is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In these cases, the Sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Heated Dry Off Shuts off the heat drying option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. Open the dishwasher door to speed drying. Heated Dry On Turns on the heater for faster drying. This cycle may extend the time to your wash cycle up to 64 minutes. This option is not available with the Rinse cycle. 4
